[ There's a little oh at the explanation, but Komaeda manages to cut Ranger off before he can call it weird. He's not really sure why he would be first on the list, seeing as he's not really one to make friends himself, and at any rate this guy seems too old to have to be led around.

Interesting, manipulative, and a liar. That sounds familiar, and he nods in acknowledgment of the description. ]

So he just wants you to talk to people. 'Kay, that makes a little more sense.

Can't say I'm very good with people though, ahaha...
